mindfulness for
your wellbeing
Thank you for practicing together, and for your presence and openness.
Finding simple ways to come home to yourself every day helps to dissipate the momentum and sense of rushing of the day. When we come home, we nourish ourselves, offering us care and energy.
Self-care is not selfishness. By caring deeply for yourself, you are caring for me, for your colleagues, for everyone in your life.
There are 3 guided mindfulness practices below to help you care for your whole self.
The good news is that mindfulness is always mindfulness of something: whether it’s our breath, sound or chocolate. That means that we don’t have to be on a meditation cushion to practice. Instead, find moments where you choose to draw all your attention in and allow yourself to be truly present for that moment. Whether you’re having a cup of tea or walking to another floor, let yourself be in your body, and rest in that awareness. You can choose one or two ‘anchors’ and commit to practicing when you encounter them: a particular door or stairway, the moment when you’ve parked the car or walking towards a building - choose something simple and everyday and then practice to strengthen your ability to move with ease and be present, open and free.
Letting go
We release past and future to settle deeply into this moment of our life.
Working with Judgement
Explore how you feel and think when you’re judging someone.
Nourishing Joy
By focusing to the good in our lives, we address our habit of paying too much attention to the bad.
